Hope he's ok - for his and his young family's sake. He's a fabulous presenter for Top Gear!

Sorry, but was he the host of Braniacs for awhile? That show was cool.

The doctors say they are optimistic he will make a good recovery, but they still have to see. If anyone wants to donate to the Helicopter that transported him, they already raised more than 26000 GBP,

Yes, he does also present Brainiacs, even had his own chat show for a while (what happened to that?)

The good news is the doctors are optimistic about his recovery.

He's managed to toddle off to the loo by himself. Amazing. I thought he wasn't going to survive or at best be a vegetable. Next few days will tell though according to the docs.

I just watched the last episode from last season... the one where he rolled the van during the mock police chase... quite surreal to hear the comments and mirth in light of his recent accident...
